Re: Ian Mahinmi to Indiana

I still don't like the deal and hope that a draft pick is headed our way, but his production (relative to playing time) isn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. I also suspect this deal was made to help give us a little more wiggle room to make a big free agent acquisition (I'm thinking Mayo).

Re: Ian Mahinmi to Indiana

This makes no sense....We just drafted Plumlee to back up Roy due to his "amazing athleticism", and then we trade for a 6'11" center that has a career average of 12 minutes per game?? We get rid of a solid, up and coming PG and a SG that really came into his own last year.....This doesn't even make sense.....Collison is on a rookie contract and Dante makes what, 3M a year.....What is this trade benefitting us???

Re: Ian Mahinmi to Indiana

The guy is a Center. He averaged 5ppg/5rpg in 20 minutes...as a Starter for 25 mpg in 12 games...he averaged 7ppg/6rpg. What's more important is that I think that he's capable of playing both West AND Hibbert in the lineup.

But this still baffles me as to why we drafted Miles.

As Jose Slaughter said...I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. No way do I think that Lance is ready to be the backup PG...nor do I think that the FO does either.
